M.Tech or MBA, which is better to choose?

M.Tech or MBA, which is better to choose?

This is one of the most common questions among final year engineering students. And the answer to this is not simple and just or no. There is not point comparing M.Tech Vs MBA or so, because both the courses are different and have different jobs and placements scope.

Check out the story of one individual for his decision(collected from net)
Answer to M.Tech or MBA truly depends on few factors such as where are doing engineering, what do you know and think about MBA job prospects, what do you want to do in long term and how any of these degrees help you to achieve this. I will try to mention my situation and decision when I was in engineering final year and had similar question in mind.
To start, I did B.Tech, M.Tech and PhD in computer science all in a row without taking a break and now want to do MBA. As mentioned in above paragraph these decisions depend on number of factors.
I was an average student in a private college and used to spend good amount to time in college library where they had subscription for some IEEE magazines and few general IT magazines. IEEE general magazines had last few pages of advertisement for professor jobs in different universities, average salary was around $60000 a year, which was around 25 lakh Indian rupees a year.
Apart from monitory benefit I also had in mind the social status of professor job, contribution to society and motivation to learn. Another reason was my dad’s respect to educated people compare to rich people. Rich were treated as normal people and students who scored good or achieved something great were always praised and remembered again and again.
At that time I know the only minimum condition for professor job and that was PhD in computer science, therefore I kept chasing it. But I never know the other conditions for that job such as publication, number of Phd, Research experience, Editorial memberships and conference organizing experience along with excellent teaching performance are just few to mention.
I did not opted for MBA after my B.Tech because most of MBA’s were from BSc. B.Com background. At that time with the name MBA I can only understand that if you are lucky enough you can get seat in some sate state universities. And I saw most of the MBAs working as either medical representatives or direct sales executives. With this vision of MBA it was clearly not my choice.
Wherever I went after B.Tech, I decided to learn more things there along with avoiding mistakes, which I did in past. The most important among them was making high scores. I had first class in B.Tech, I decided to make it distinction or university rank in M.Tech. I chased it again and gave tough competition, made maximum as my competition rather than some student. Good time started and I became one of the recognized ones and very independent. Good performance boosted confidence and I decided to move for PhD.
To cut the story short, I was very successful and happy with my decision. May be I made great decisions every time and reached to a place where I dreamed to go. Got PhD and joined as assistant professor in an institute of national importance. Then decided to see the software industry and resigned from professor job and join Samsung in Korea.
One day I was attending a lecture for new employees in Samsung and the presenter was from Harvard business school. He is a Swiss national and may be 5 year older than me but a vice president of strategy in Samsung. I met him during tea break and then we met many times in company. This made me think what a good MBA can do. MBA is not about just selling something. Its really about managing.
I decided to go for MBA, weird for many people and beyond imagination that MBA after PhD. But still I have a plan for it and I know an MBA form great school can do it. My view for MBA changed now, because I know what MBA’s does I feel confidant for that position and I m chasing it again.
To summarize, you should feel confidant about your future for the course you are opting for. This makes your work hard for it and you grow happy with that. I was confidant about M.Tech after B.Tech and thought that course will make me reach safe position, now I feel that with an MBA from Stanford or Harvard I will grow faster and server better

No doubt the above story can motivate soomeone to MBA but M.TECH is better for research & faculty.

Submit a Complete Sitemap of your Blogger Blog to Google for Better Indexing

Submit a Complete Sitemap of your Blogger Blog to Google for Better Indexing
Sitemaps, in simple English, are text files (see example) containing a list of all web pages that exist on your site. It is important that you create a comprehensive sitemap as it will help Google and other search engines crawl your site better and that might mean more traffic coming your way in the long run.

The Problem with Blogger Sitemap Files

Ideally, the sitemap file should contain all URLs of a site but if your blog is hosted on blogspot.com (or if you are using a self-hosted version of Blogger with a custom domain), you'll be surprised to know that the default sitemap file (see example) contains only the 26 most recent pages of your blog.
That's a bad thing because some of your older blog pages, that are missing from the system-generated sitemap file, may never get indexed in search engines. There's however a simple solution to fix this problem.

Generate a Complete Sitemap for your Blogger Blog

Step 1: If you haven't done this already, sign-in to your Google Webmasters account and add your blog. For details, check this video tutorial on how to add a blog to Google.
Step 2: Once your blog is added to Google, open the Sitemap Generator and type the full address of your blogspot blog (or your self-hosted Blogger blog).

Step 3: What you get is list of sitemap files that contain each and every page of your blog. You now just have to ping Google, Yahoo and Bing to inform them about these XML sitemaps.
As shown in the video screencast below, you need to manually add each of the sitemap files into your Google Webmaster Tools dashboard but for Bing or Yahoo, you can simply click blue hyperlinks and these search engines will automatically download the relevant sitemap files from your blogspot site.

Once all the Sitemaps are added, your Google Dashboard should look something like this.

Withdraw PayPal Money Directly to A Bank Account in India for Free

Some very good news for PayPal users in India. You can now transfer money from your

PayPal account to any of your bank account in India directly from the PayPal website.

Earlier, the only option for withdrawing PayPal amount in India was a check that normally took 2-3 weeks for processing. The new e-transfer process should take less than a week.

PayPal has also scrapped the withdrawal fees for electronic transfer if the amount withdrawn is more that Rs 7000 and a nominal Rs 50 for small transfers. Earlier PayPal would charge $5 per transaction irrespective of the amount on the cheque.

To get your money from PayPal to a bank account in India, all you require is your bank account number and the IFSCI code of the bank branch where you have the account - call your bank customer care service and ask for IFSC code -it's an 11 digit code maintained by The Reserve Bank of India.

The e-transfer facility from PayPal India is available to anyone having an account in HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, ING VYSYA Bank, Axis Bank (formerly UTI Bank), Standard Chartered Bank, State Bank Of India, Bank Of India, Canara Bank, Union Bank of India, HSBC and Citibank India.

Before you withdraw the amount from PayPal to your Indian Bank account, ensure that name of the bank record and PayPal match character by character else the transaction will not go through and PayPal would also charge a INR 250 processing fee.

PayPal offers another option for Indians who hold a Visa credit card or debit card - you can withdraw funds directly to your Visa branded credit, debit or prepaid card.

Is PayPal Income Taxable in India - If you are earning web income through BlogAds, Text Link Ads, eLance, eBay or any other program where the money is deposited in PayPal, it's very important that you declare the PayPal money while filing the Tax Returns in India.

Can I remit money to India Using PayPal - When you transfer money from PayPal to India, PayPal would pre-populate the surname field for Bank account holder though you are free to use any First Name. So if you are planning to remit money to some relative who share your surname, it is technically possible.

Make your blog more popular!!!

Note: This is just a method by which a blog can be more popular.


You have to submit your site's URL address directly to Google and
Yahoo (Addresses to follow), In about 2 to 3 days the Googlebot will

TURBO C++ in full screen in windows 7

Note this is not full screen mode but i will make ur screen much better !!!!!

Full Screen Mode for Turbo c on Vista

—by Puneet (one of my friend)

This is a big question for those who are still using Turbo C++ Version 3.0 in Windows Vista or 7. As everyone knows that full screen is not supported with the version 3.0 in Vista,7; it is ridiculous to work in the small screen where I think no one can ever imagine writing a program there! This solution will help all the C, C++ learners using TC++ 3.0 in Vista.

This is a simple technique. Just follow the simple 4 steps given below and get a big screen in few seconds. There is no need of any additional softwares or drivers.

Step 1: Open TC++ (normally C:\TC\BIN\TC.EXE). In the startup it will show a dialogue box that it doesn’t support full screen mode as seen in the picture below. Just select ignore option. Then it will open the small screen mode.

Note: Please Click on the images to enlarge

Step 2: Go to the top left of the window and click. It will show a menu as shown in the figure. Then select properties from the menu.

Step 3: Now it will show the properties window, in which you select the Font tab. There you can see two font options as Raster and Lucida Console. The default will be Raster. You select Lucida Console and select the size from the size list as 28.

Step 4: After selecting the fonts, now you have to select the layout tab where you can see screen buffer size, window size, and window position options. First unselect the “Let system position window” option from window position options. Now make the following changes:

* Screen Buffer Size: Width: 82 Height: 28

* Window Size: Width: 80 Height: 26

* Window Position: Left: -4 Top: -4

After making the changes select OK.

Now you will see a larger window and very crisp font size in which you can work perfectly fine. This technique actually doesn’t provide full screen in Vista but you will find it much better.

NB: The given sizes will work fine for 1280 by 800 screens, but there is no compulsion that you have to use them as specified. You can always use your own options according to your need.

Virtual Graphics Card-Play latest Games without Graphic Cards

10 01 2009

This sounds almost too good to be true,doesn’t it?
Many times we are stuck up with a system that just doesn’t provide enough juice to run the latest game…the result being-

• you either spend a pot of money (atleast Rupees 3500 or 70$) for getting the latest graphics card
• or you just read reviews of games like Crysis , Far Cry on gamespot and feel like a noob,fully knowing that your system just won’t be able to support it.

Take heart ! Here’s a wicked software with which you can beat 128-256 MB of graphics card requirements with a very modest 1GB DDR2 RAM.
The savior is 3D-Analyzer.Click to download.
What it does is,it uses a part of your RAM as Graphics card memory. For example,if you got 1GB DDR2 RAM,then it’ll use 128MB of it as a Virtual Graphics card,and the remaining 896MB will be used as a regular RAM.
Cool right….so you can Virtually emulate NVIDIA GeForce TI 4600,NVIDIA GeForce FX 4900 ULTRA,ATi Radeon  8500,ATi Radeon 9800 PRO.Follow the given procedure:
After downloading the software,first install it.
You’ll see something like this:

3D Analyzer-Starting Screen

Next,click on ‘Select’ option.

Select

Select  FarCry.exe
Next step,select the options as shown.Note that i have selected the VendorID as 4098 and DeviceID 20400 as i want to select the ATi Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card(use the index provided in the screen on the right). Click on Run.Doesn’t matter even if you don’t save the batch file.Your ready to roll ! Please note that the .exe file is to be selected from the main folder,and not the shortcut present on the desktop.

I got Oblivion 4 and Neverwinter Nights 2 to work using this. For running Oblivion however,you need to install a patch called Oldblivion.Click to download and follow the instuctions on Oldblivion site.

For Neverwinter Nights 2,you need to tweak the stuff a bit.

Go to Start->Run->regedit.Then press F3 and search for hardwareinformation.memorysize.Click on the file,and modify the binary values to 00 00 00 08.This fools the system into believing that you have 128MB video RAM.Then select only the ‘emulate hw tnl caps’ option.Do not select any other.Select ATi Radeon 9800.Click on Run

cityville tricks

The CityVille is the most played game on Facebook in the news, created by Zinga, a company specializing in online games, especially for Facebook.

Currently, CityVille is played by more than 80 million people who have registered and have their cities in CityVille. It is estimated that more than 20 million of these users, play CityVille daily.

Let’s ace tips:

- Follow all the steps requested, which appear at the top left side of your game screen CityVille. When completing these steps, you evolve in the game, and can build other buildings, win gifts, etc.. Do not be anxious, take it easy, take it, to pass all the goals.

- Have more commercial buildings than homes, why are they going to give him money, so you can build new buildings, increasing the total area that can use and buy decorations.

- The decorations, mostly to increase income from their homes and commercial buildings in CityVille. Mouse over them to see which wants to buy and use, arrange the buildings so he can put enough decorations around.

- A good tip is to make a row of commercial buildings, side by side, putting ornaments back, put sidewalk in front, and later in other embellishments. With this, you will have enough commercial buildings and they will yield enough because of the decorations.

- Choose decorations and trees in the wider CityVille, avoid the use of flowers, animals, walls and other decorations small and low, will not be shown to be a task for the game, or you want a city full of colorful decorations, because in time to switch places, large trees and decorations are easier to transport from one place to another in CityVille.

- Have a large crop in CityVille preferably the same size of your entire shopping area, because if you want to grow enough in the game, you must have Muia production of goods.

- You must have enough bins to house the goods you have harvested the crop, so be silos enough to house two or more crops whole, in all its fields.

- When you redeem the assets of its commercial buildings in CityVille click several buildings, the first and go back to taking what is withdrawn from the shops, one after another without stopping. If you get the level MasterFull, get 4950 extra coins as a reward for having managed to get many items in sequence, without stopping.

- Prefer the houses that are home to as many people as possible. Do not expect to have income especially with rent, tell them just to have enough people in your city. Avoid buying the buildings also extremely expensive, will not be having much money left, because the fact of buying them gives you no extra premium, it’s just a big building, nothing more.

- Have many friends in CityVille neighbors. The more neighbors you have, the more people will visit your town every day to help you, collecting your goods for you, pulling the rent or making a cash withdrawal, the shops. What is drawn, it is with you, and how they can make five shares, in each visit, each friend who visits you, saving you 5 points of energy.

- Send gifts daily to all your friends in CityVille. They will also send you, and you will have resources to grow more each Veza.

- Pay attention to prices. Me, when I had already purchased all the available areas for expansion in CityVille, I started buying those songs, that just leaves a small piece of land, but did not notice the figure, which was rising. Result: I ended up with my money, over 2 million coins quickly. Buy only the available areas, and those remaining small triangular corners, let to buy, if you want, only when you have several millions left over.

- Get all possible public buildings, as they will let you have more people in your town. The more people that their city has, the faster will consume products in their commercial spots, and soon may withdraw the income of its stores in CityVille.

- Do not waste time or money buying coins to play in CityVille, will not you love to spend on online games. I say this because all that is on sale, have equal or better alternatives that you can buy with coins, and accumulate enough coins to buy, just be patient. Nor is it necessary to buy energy. In the beginning, will give a lot, because you do not do a lot with few points of energy, but then, with many friends neighbors, sending him piles of energy, leaving you with enough energy, enough will be left!

- If you do not have much time to play the CityVille at least once a day to get everything in order. If you have time left, will play the CityVille every 2 or 3 hours, improving your city and go as you can go in collecting goods, withdraw money and build new buildings.

- Build up to Piers as you can, and put a lot of boats there. It’s a way to get extra possessions, and most of the options for trips that last longer, cost of goods is equal to the cost to produce something on his land. The big advantage is that one need not have such a huge crop. Piers have 9 in my city, and not only because they have put more space, that is, it’s worth.

- The money you earn slowly when doing missions and going through phases of CityVille. Few notes you receive, and take to receive only what comes quickly, if you play well, are the coins of the same CityVille.

- Do not fall for scams that many users disclose on Facebook, because there is nothing that Facebook or allow Zinga, who can make you earn extra money CityVille and it is not paying to be at the same site Zinga, through CityVille game.

When new ideas, post here for you, so they are superstars in CityVille!
